The extra credit opportunity I chose to attend was: “How to Interpret The Bible” presented by Mary Healy. This lecture was held in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. I, coming from a religious Christian background did not think I would learn anything that I did not already know, but I was very mistaken.
